Ok Julia, act cool, wait what the hell my names not Julia, I'm losing it!"Oh my God really?" I said in a loud whisper, now for the cherry on the cake, God I'm going to have to wash my mouth out after I say this, "You should ask her out, you two would be too cute together." Bridget was my friend, but all love I had for her was suddenly lost, stupid Bridget.
"No, I couldn't…" he said quietly, it kind annoyed me, but whatever, all my energy was suddenly zapped out of me and I practically passed out into nothing. "Lola, are you ok?" ugh I hated his voice right now, he sounded concerned and he made it so hard for me to be pissed at him right now.
"I'm fine just have a lot going on ok?"
"I'm so sorry Lola I'm so selfish, I should have known," he should have known what? Did he know I liked him? Was I really that obvious? My thoughts got interrupted by him talking again, "You've seemed so out of it today and I should have noticed something was up, so what's wrong?" he asked, how the hell was I going to explain to him what was wrong?
"Just this guy I like who is sort of a friend of mine, he likes someone else, and even If he didn't he would never like me." Was that too obvious, please let him stay oblivious like he always is.
"Oh, well why would you say that."
"It's true he told me himself that he liked some other girl."
"No, that he wouldn't like you, Trace, any guy would be lucky to have you like him, they would have to be completely and totally idiotic to think differently, and I really think you're underestimating yourself, you're beautiful, you have amazing eyes, a beautiful smile, the cutest laugh, a perfect nose, a knock out figure, and the best hair I have ever seen." My heart stopped for a second, that was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, but he just called himself an idiot.
"Wait so you're calling yourself an idiot," SHIT! Did I just say that out loud.
"Um, what are you talking about Lola…." He sounded confused, the jig was up, I had to come clean.
"Justin, the guy I like is you, not anyone else, and I just thought that, maybe you could feel the same, but obviously I was wrong." I went to get up and walk away, class was over in 5 minutes and after that I wouldn't have to be with him, I could go sit by my locker by myself and cry, no one would notice if I covered my face and acted like I was studying, I just have to force a smile on my face a little longer. He smiled and started laughing, great now I was being laughed at, "Listen, Justin, If you're going to laugh at me I'm leaving." This time for real I got up, and I started to walk away, but he grabbed my hand pulled me in and kissed me. I kissed him back but then forced myself to pull away.
"What's wrong now, Lola?"
"You don't like me, you like Bridget," it pained me to say that.
"I lied, I only said I liked Bridget because I wanted to see how you reacted, when you didn't get jealous I panicked so I dropped the subject." He hugged me, "So Jessica, there's something I wanted to ask you, will you…"
